Mark Eccleston is an athlete who has overcome tremendous adversity - this frank, fearless and often funny film tells his triumph of the human spirit. He became one of the world's leading wheelchair tennis players and held the World No 1 spot for fourteen months. He went on to win a silver medal in the Athens Paralympics in 2004.
